Chocolate Pie With A Sweet Meringue Topping
Chocolate Pie and Sweet Meringue come together to make a amazing dessert! I used already made pie crust making this a pretty easy dessert to put together.
Ingredients
Recipe Ingredients:
4 tablespoons cocoa
3/4 cups sugar
5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 egg yolks, lightly beaten
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon of butter
1 unbaked 9-inch piecrust
Ingredients for the meringue:
2 egg whites
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
4 tablespoons sugar
Instructions
Instructions Preheat the oven to 350° F. In a saucepot, whisk together the cocoa, sugar, flour, salt, egg yolks, and milk. On medium heat, cook while stirring until it bubbles and thickens, about 5 to 10 minutes. If it becomes lumpy, just beat out the lumps. (It will not get any thicker in the oven so cook until it’s as thick as you want it.) Remove the chocolate filling from the heat and stir in the vanilla and butter. Meanwhile, as you make the custard, poke holes in the piecrust with a fork and bake it until it’s brown, about 20 minutes. To make the meringue, beat the egg whites with salt and when they start to get fluffy add the sugar. Pour the chocolate custard into the baked pie shell and top with the beaten egg whites. Bake it until it the peaks on the meringue are lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Serve warm.
